The 3D camera and the software development kit can be used to develop individual solutions and applications.
If the camera is integrated into a machine, the measured data can be evaluated with common image processing libraries. A software development kit with code samples is available in different programming languages.
The 3D camera, on the basis of PMD technology, detects scenes and objects at a glance in three dimensions. In contrast to laser scanners it does not require moving components and is thus robust and wear-free. The function principle, the time of flight technology (ToF), can be compared to a laser scanner. However, instead of one there are 23,000 receiving elements arranged on the chip as a matrix. That means that not only one point but a complete scene is measured in only one capture. In addition to the distance image, the camera chip also provides a grey-scale image of the scene. Intuitive parameter software allows easy setting of the camera-specific parameters. A software development kit including code samples is available in various programming languages.
